There are a range of member benefits that RAPRA offer. Amongst these RAPRA MORe Points is a loyalty scheme for members and Preferred Service Providers (PSPs). At the moment, RAPRA members can redeem any number of their current MORe Points on services provided by LPD Lab Services for their equivalent money value. We also hope to be able to award MORe Points on LPD Lab Services business before the end of 2013.

The range of services on which RAPRA members can use RAPRA MORe Points at LPD Lab Services includes::

In the field of paints, coatings, rubbers and plastics, LPD has dealt with materials failure investigations, embrittlement and leaching issues, degradation and polymer swelling, adhesive and cohesive failure, interfacial contamination, depolymerisation, paint delamination problems, wetting and mixing issues for example. Customers using polymers and rubbers or their customers in turn use them in association with other materials like metals, ceramics and composites where unforeseen problems can be associated with chemicals and materials interactions or a combination of contributing factors which can be found out, often starting from basic good / bad comparisons but can involve 8D or 6 Sigma techniques depending on the complexity of the problem. Problems can be small or large and work is scoped accordingly.

RAPRA says of LPD; “We are extremely pleased to have LPD as a ‘Preferred Service Provider’, their response is always prompt and efficient and geared to giving the very best service to the client and RAPRA. RAPRA are receiving an increasingly diverse range of enquiries and having a facility such as LPD greatly increases RAPRA’s ability to service those enquiries”.
